How Essential Oils Can Help in Treating Winter Bugs?

Winter
months usually see an upswing in the number of some particular bug species like
scale insects and lady bugs that can be a big nuisance for homeowners. In fact,
some of the winter bugs usually lead to many skin diseases and allergies. In
order to get rid of the bugs, most people prefer to purchase chemical bug
sprays that are harmful for us as well as to the environment. That is why we
suggest people to go for natural and environment friendly bug repellent
remedies.

In
this blog, we are going to suggest some environment friendly bug repellants,
made from natural essential oils. These natural bug repellants are economical
and also give effective results.

Make Anti-Bacterial Spray with Ravensara
Essential Oil

Add
30 to 40 drops of tea tree or Ravensara essential oil in a 150 ml spray bottle.
You can spray this mixture on foot stools, work surfaces, couches and anything
that you want to keep hygienic. This is an effective spray that keeps many
diseases, allergic agents and most importantly the winter bugs away.

Eucalyptus
Essential Oil is a must have to fight winter bugs. It is a well-known fact that
eucalyptus is antibacterial, antiseptic and decongestant in nature. Hence,
overall protection of your home is guaranteed. This oil is also febrifuge,
which means it can help in reducing fever as well.

A Homemade Essential Oil Winter
Blend is a good Idea

Mix
6 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil, 5 drops of Rosemary, 3 drops of Pine, 2
drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Lemon Oil. Blend all these oils and diffuse in
the entire home. You can also use this blend in your water bath or manually
apply it on the skin to steer clear of winter bugs.

Use Distilled Formula of Cistus
Essential Oil

Cistus
Essential Oil extracted from gum has antibacterial and skin regenerative
properties. This is one of the most trusted formulas to repel winter bugs. We also
suggest you to diffuse cistus respiratory blend formula in the entire house
that includes 10 drops of cistus, 5 drops of clove oil and 5 drops of Ravensera
oil.

Chemical
bug repellants are harmful to the environment and they should not be kept in
the house, if you have young kids. Natural bug repellants made using essential oils are a sure and safe way to keep your house away from bugs during the
winter season.
